Safety Recall Notice - Push Mower

DEWALT battery operated push and self-propelled walk behind mower, model year 2024

In cooperation with Health Canada, DEWALT is recalling battery operated mowers because of a possible laceration hazard. When the mower gets soaking wet, water intrusion into the handle control of the mower can create electrical shorting and the mower may not turn off when the bail handle is released; or if the battery is not removed prior to storage and there is considerable water intrusion, the mower could start with the key out.

The following models are affected:

A DEWALT cordless lawn mower with a brushless motor, featuring a yellow and black design, large rear wheels, and a grass collection bag attached.

DCMWP234U2

A DEWALT cordless electric lawn mower with a yellow and black design, featuring a rear grass collection bag, ergonomic handle, and dual battery setup.

The model number is printed on the black model plate located on the rear door of the mower. Only mowers with date codes 2023 32 through 2024 13 are affected. The date code is laser printed in yellow on the left-hand side of mower above the rear wheel. Mowers manufactured after March 2024 (2024 14-58) are not affected. See the image for model number and date code locations. If you need assistance locating the model number, please call us at the number below.
